Danger in the Bottle.

Mr.. G.. w. Fittou writes to the
Chemist and Druggist that he has
narrowly escaped what might have
been O serious affair. "Not having
the blind down in front OF the win
dow as usual" be writes, ''and the
sun being very strong, the rays, after
passing through large carboy filled
with the usual solution of bichromate
of potash, were thrown on to the
woodwork of the window inclosure,
soon burning a piece nearly I inch
thick and 4 inches long; more would
have followed had | not discovered it
in time. Should like to know" he
adds, if you have heard of case like
this occurring before?"
There have been a number of SINH
lar incidents recorded, and it stands
druggists in hand to be careful about
displaying globular shaped jars in
their windows where the suns rays
can be refracted by them.

The Clergyman's Mistake.

"You have daughters, have you
not, sir?n said a minister to an old
gentleman with whom he had formed
a causal acquaintance as fellow-pas-
senger.
The old gentleman essayed to ans
wer, but the question strangely affect.
ed him.
81 beg your pardon" said the min
lister, gently, "if l have thoughtlessly
awaked in your mind recollections of
painful nature. The world is full
of sorrow, sir, and perhaps my ques-
tion recalls to your memory fair,
beautiful girl, whose blossoming
young life withered in its bloom
Am not right, sir?"
"No, not exactly" replied the old
gentleman, sadly, IL have five I'M
married daughters mister. and the
youngest of the lot is tweuty-eight

She Kissed Her Pug Pup.

The affectionate manner, says the
Pittsburg Penny Press of llth inst,.
IN which a handsome and elegantly
attEed lady caressed an ugly pug dog
at ~ Union depot this morning
caused several young brakemen of the
Pennsylvania railroad to turn almost
green with envy Such a charming
lady! And that she should throw
away her kisses upon disgusting
little purp! Oh! 1t was too mean.
The young woman fully demon
strated that those who loved not
her dog should not admire her. She
came from Chicago and was en-
route east When she attempted to
enter a car holding the pug in her
arms as tenderly as would nurse
an infant child, the brakeman polite
ly informed her that it was against
the rules to allow dogs on the pas
senger coaches The word "dog''
sounded very harsh to the young
woman, and her eyes snap
ped and sparkled like the
the diamonds in her ears She was
indignant, and declared she would
not part with her pet. She rushed
into the depot to secure an order from
some of the officials allowing her the
the privilege OF taking the dog on the
car with her. She was unsuccessful.
Her train was called, and she made
another attempt to board the car.
She tried to conceal the "purp" un-
der her arm and cover it up with her
claak, but the brakeman spied it and
stopped her again. This was too
much. Her eyes filled with tears,
and she cried aloud, but finally was
induced to enter the baggage car and
give the dog to Baggagemaster Char
ley Butler. Charley saw the woman
kiss the pug and give it a parting en-
brace as she placed it in his hands.
Il will try and keep it from getting
killed." said Mr.. Butler, catching it
by the scruff of the neck. The own
er hastily entered her own car, and
when the train pulled out was still
weeping.

From the Chicago News

PROUD MISS M'BRIDE.
BY J. G SANE.

B1 }. Ar H-ANFs
O5 terribly proud was Miss MacBride,
Proud of her beauty, and proud OF her pride,
And proud of fifty matters beside
That wouldn't have borne dissection;
Proud of her wit and proud of her walk,
Proud Of her eth. and proud of her talk,
Proud of knowing cheese from chalk,
On a very Slight inspection.
Proud abroad, and proud at home,
p.oud wherever she chancel to come,
When she was glad, and when she was glumi
Proud as the head of g Saracen
Over the door of tippling shop"
Proud as a Duchess, proud as fop,
Proud as boy with bran-new top
Proud beyond comparison
Her birth, indeed, was unc)mmonly high,
For Miss MacBride first opened her eye
Through sky-light dim, on the light OF th'
SKY;
But pride is a curious passion,
AMI talking about her wealth and worth,
She always forgot to mention her birth,
To people Of rank and fashion!
An honest mechanic was john MacBride,
A. ever an honest calling p el,
Or graccd ar honest ditty;
For John had worked in his early day,
In "Pots and Pearls" the legends say,
And kept shop with a rich array
or things in the soap and candle way,
In the lower part OF the city.
Little by little he grew to be rich,
Ard by saving Of caudie-enls and 's;ch.'
TIL he reached at last an opulent niche
No very uncommon affair;
For honesty quite confirms the law
Expressed in the ancient Scottish saw,
Mickle may come to be May'r!
Old John Mcbride, one fatal day,
Became the unresisting prey
OF Fortunes undertakers;
And stalking his all on a single die,
His foundered bark went high and dry
Among the brokers and breakers
At his trade again in the very shop
Where, years before, he let it drop,
He follows his ancient calling,-
Cheerily, too, in poverty's spite,
And sleeping quite as sound at night,
As when, at Fortunes giddy height,
He used to wake with a dizzy fright
From a dizzy dream of falling.
But alas for the naughty Miss MacBiide !
'Tiwas such shock to ber precious pride
She could MT recover, although she tried
Her jaded spirits to rally;
IT was a dreadful change in human affairs
From place up Town. to nook vi
Stairs
From an Avenue down to an Alley?

A Warning TO Bashrul Men

He sat beside her near the stove.
A prey to hashfulness;
To her he spoke no words of love,
Nor sought her haad to press.
No maiden ever had been wooel
By him; the fact was plain,
For silently he set ana chewed
The knob upon his cane.
And thus they silently sat till she
Said. John, ought to state
That pa a1d ma are cut t. tea,
And won't return till late.
"Now, while they're absent do not tease
But pray remember this:
My hand you must not try to squeeze,
Nor steal from me kiss"
At once the knob that graced his cane
John from his mouth withdrew,
Ard said: Il won't; don't think Miss Jane
That I'd do that to yon."
A deeper silence ,hen enSued
Than had prevailed before;
John vigorously his cane knob chewed
4 frown James visagc wore.
And thus they sat till half past Ten;
And when John rose to 90,
And asked if he might call again,
Jane curtly answered: "No :"

Bad, But Not Bad Enough.

Mr. Minks-"I heard pretty bad

"Oh, no; only"
"Only one, and has run away from
her then. Well, if"
"No, no, he didn't run away, it

"The wife then. l always knew
she"
"No, his horse ran away and injur-

The Right Answer in the First
Guess.

One of the members of school
committee undertook to sharpen up
the wits of the boys by propounding
the following question: "If l had
mince pie, and should give two
twelfths to John, two-twelfths to
Isaac, two.twelfths to Harry, and
should keep half of the pie for my self,
what would there be left?" There
was profound study among the boys
but finally one held up his hand as
signal that he was ready to answer.
"Well, sir, what would there be left?
Speak up loud, so that all can hear ~
said the committee man. 1.-The
plate !" shouted the hopeful fellow.
The committeeman turned red in the
face, while the other members roared
aloud.

Captain lives he will never hear the

Spring Team Work.

The time in which spring seeding
can be done to best advantage is often
very limited. First frost and then
protracted rains often keep the ground
too cold and wet for profitable work
ing until along in May Then, 20
SOW the barley and oats and plant the
potatoes and corn before it is too late
to seed with any reasonable prospect
of reaping remunerating crops, work
must be rushed through with railroad
speed Then the propelling force of
the farm must be fully utilized. No
sickness nor feebleness in the horse
teams, no shrinking on account of
CALLED breasts or necks can be tolerat-
ed. All such casualties should be
guarded against, if possible.
Few farmers keep their full force of
horse teams in the condition of great
est efficiency through the entire win
ter. Some are kept on hay with lit
tie or no grain, others have their
shoes pulled off and are allowed to
run out in the yard and under the
sheds during the winter. This may
possibly be a good plan, but fitting
them for spring work slould not be
delayed too long Good solid flesh
should be worked on to the horses
and their shoulders hardened by such
moderate labors as Will not gall them
Those farmers who delay prepar,
ing their teams for spring work until
it is ready will not be able to drive it
through but will be obliged to con-
tinuaily favor their bor5es. The
flesh, if suddenly put on, will be wat
cry, and the water will evaporate in
sw5at, leaving the muscles soft and
fabby- To build up good muscular
cells horses require a liberal amount
of heterogeneous food, such as oats,
wheat or rye bran. oil meal, pea meal
etc. Corn, or corn meal, while excel
lent to form fat, is one of the poorest
grains in albuminoids OF muscle
formers. Corn may furnish heat
force to operate the muscles, but to
form good, strong, durable muscles,
| oats and bran are mucn better.
One of the greatest troubles in
blowing with horses in the spring is
the tendency of their breasts to gall
and become sore. 1t is almost i'm.
possible to prevent some horses from
CALLING. Sweat and dirt gather un-
der the collar, the skin becomes heat,
ed and infame6; soon becomes sore
and wears off. 1T is exceedingly IN.
pleasant to work CALLED horses, com
pei them to press their sore breasts
against their collars when it is very
painful.
One of the best preventatives of
sore breasts is cleanliness, keeping
both the collar and skin clean. FIRE.
quent bathing of the breast in cold
water not only cleans it but removes
feverishness. Tincture of myrrh with
the water is a great help. The fol,
lowing ointment is very good for
healing gals: Pulverized alum, 4 OF;
pulverized blood root, OF; white
lead, 4 OF; calomel, 2 OF Mix with
glycerine, sweet oil or lard. Another:

They All Went.

A lady prominent in society cir.
cles in Minneapolis, residing on Mic.
ollet Island, entertained small party
OF friends in quiet, informal way one
evening last week. The party enjoyed
the lady's hospitality to such an ex-
tent that midnight came almost be-
fore any Of them were aware of it
The hostess, however, was weary,
and it seemed to her that her friends
would never get ready to go home.
She threw out numerous sly and in.
genious hints, occasionally violated
etiquette by yawning, and anon look
ing up anxiously at the clock-in
short. employed al! the arts in which
long familiarity with the ways of SO
ciety had made her adopt. As a last
